Jan 27 2009The Tampon Mona Lisa For Sale On eBay
Tampon Mona Lisa (AKA Bleeding Lisa, AKA Bitching and Moaning Lisa) is just that, a picture of Mona Lisa with a bunch of tampons glued on. It's like a middle school art class/sex ed mashup gone horribly wrong.
TAMPON MONA LISA uses an enlarged photocopy of Mona's face, bodice, and hands, the only areas that show her skin in DaVinci's original. Her hair and her clothing are represented in mosaic fashion by approximately 200 tampons. Some of the tampons have the strings attached, showing up as strands of hair or threads on her dress.
Whatever. The bidding starts at a ridiculous $2,600 and if anybody is interested I'll run out to CVS right now and make one even bigger. I'm talking those super absorbent joints. Shit, I may even throw in a few pads and an adult diaper.
Hit the jump for a closeup.
Thanks to Lynz, who, anticipating my whirlwind success as a tampon artist, was smart enough to buy stock in Kotex.

how dare he??? he will be cursed for life for making a mockery of one of the world's master piece
10. gabdar - January 27, 2009 12:15 PM
i hope no one buys it, so the guy can realize that he just spent upwards of 200$ on tampons....

@6 - You don't get it, you can't just start mass producing theese, this is how it works: When you by one of theese works of art you become a certified artist, and that is when you get the right to produce and sell theese artworks to others. It's an easy way to get rich with no job involved, I'm making millions. Just recently I bought a Wii, cracked it open and filled it with banana peel, I'm selling the work of art for 5000$ (starting price).

Art is dead.
13. Cameron - January 27, 2009 12:19 PM
@11. softlicious - OH! I get it now. I'm going to make poop sculptures, cover them in a hard-drying lacquer and sell them for $800.00/turd.
14. Thumperchica - January 27, 2009 12:25 PM
I want to throw liquid at this... muahahahahaha. Stupid.
15. Gizmoduck - January 27, 2009 12:25 PM
shut the f*** up.
ITS PIKACHU
16. softlicious - January 27, 2009 12:35 PM
@13 - Great, you got it! But remember that you must buy one work of art before you are allowed to sell them. Otherwise there would be no one to buy any art. I know you may be sceptical, but you have to try it out. If you buy the Tampon Mona Lisa you can enter the game and 2,600$ is pretty inexpensive considering this will turn into your major source of income! Did I mention that Barack Osama himself is in this bussiness, see for yourself:
http://store.barackobama.com/Artists_for_Obama_s/1018.htm
If you ally with Barack Osama an added bonus is that you will recieve money from the government for your art, that's your tax money at good work! The only requirement for getting money from the Barack Osama fund is that you either belong to a minority or you're a homosexual from New York. I hope that help to clarify the new policies Osama is putting to practice here in A(me/f)rica!

Jeez, look at this guy's creepy hand… look at his apartment / studio (?) / Bugs Bunny in the background… this guy is like the son of the son of Sam (the grandson of Sam I guess).

Hey, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.
*snort*
I can't believe I just typed that with a straight face.
19. Timbo - January 27, 2009 1:00 PM
.............................I'm fairly positive that guy has to be mental retarded or unstable in some way to actually think that crap would sell.
On a lighter note I'm selling a used condom mosiac of the statue of David!
Any takers???
20. BK - January 27, 2009 1:00 PM
It's the new "Pin the Tail on the Donkey."
All of the kids are playing "Plug the Bleeding Hole on the Mona Lisa"
This guy is just horrible at it.
21. Spam Artist - January 27, 2009 1:47 PM
FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its ALIVE ITS ALIVE
This is egg-sack-lee like that scene in the movie Tender Dracula where Dracula stroked his television and put a video cassette into his stomach.
Long live the new flesh.

The world should have ended a long time ago.

A poor attempt at shock value to say the least.
I mean, had he at least thrown some aborted fetuses on it and claimed it were a social commentary about the plight in Darfur then it might be worth 2,600.00...
As is it's just some hack who has watched Ghostworld a few too many times but failed to see the irony.

DONT FLUSH THE MONA LISA!!!!!
25. formerly SPELLINGNAZI© - January 27, 2009 4:31 PM
That would be infinitely better if it was of the Virgin Mary instead of the Mona Lisa...get it?
26. Daisy (TRO) - January 27, 2009 7:22 PM
FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max and Baja went on vacation to a cabin in the woods when his brother in law drops in and ruins their good time.

execution = fail
28. kLuh - January 29, 2009 11:53 PM
DUDE, this guy Must be some sort of RETARDED to think that anybody in their Right frame of mind would believe this crafted piece of LADY MATERIAL and some significance to the MONA LISA is ART, let alone that anybody would buy it. I'm a woman and wouldn't think twice about that piece of CRAP!
Tampons are for LADIES not ART! DUH DUCHEBAG!
...and also I'm pretty sure that there are probably only 2 or 3 boxes of regulars on there and that only brings the total purchase to what 12 dollars and a Xeroxed copy of Leonardo DA Vinci's MONA LISA is what like 50 cents so that whole piece of "SO CALLED ART" only cost him $12.50....
WHAT A WASTE OF $12.50
P.S. Thanks for the laugh!
29. kLuh - January 30, 2009 12:05 AM
uhhhh woah he even has one of those weird watches that were posted on here awhile ago... lol

Have you seen the latest? There is a Condom Bin Ladin now listed on Ebay by the same artist.
